Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Rinse the shrimp, fish, clams, and mussels under cold water. Dice the onion, garlic, tomatoes, and bell pepper. Chop the cilantro and set aside.

  2. 2

    Sauté Vegetables

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute until fragrant.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Add Tomatoes and Peppers

    Stir in the chopped tomatoes and diced bell pepper. Cook for about 5 minutes, allowing the tomatoes to soften and release their juices.

  2. 4

    Add Broth and Seasoning

    Pour in the fish stock (or water), and add salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and bay leaves. Bring the mixture to a boil.

  3. 5

    Add Seafood

    Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and add the shrimp, fish fillets, clams, and mussels. Simmer for 10-12 minutes, until the shrimp are pink and the clams and mussels are opened.

  4. 6

    Finish with Cilantro and Lime

    Remove from heat and stir in the chopped cilantro and lime juice. Adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.

Serving

  1. 7

    Serve Hot

    Ladle the caldo de mariscos into bowls and serve hot. Optionally, garnish with additional cilantro and lime wedges.
